    Delicious home made breakfast. Could be taken anywhere within the hotel, either in your room, on a balcony, downstairs in one of the courtyards or in our case we took it up on the fabulous roof top terrace overlooking the Medina and Atlas Mountains.

    An unforgettable and beautiful Riad that you'll want to tell all your friends about.

    Literally nothing. I felt that I was constantly going around saying how perfect it was. I can't imagine think of a single thing I didn't like about this Riad.

    Absolutely magical! Le Farnatchi is hands down one of the most beautiful and memorable places I’ve ever stayed. Tucked down a peaceful street in the heart of Marrakech, its location is perfect, serene and quiet, yet just moments from the hustle and bustle of the medina. The Riad itself is a masterpiece. Every corner feels like a curated art museum, with elegant design, spacious rooms, and plenty of privacy. The beds are incredibly comfortable, and the whole space has a calming, luxurious atmosphere. What really sets Le Farnatchi apart is the service. The staff are exceptional, genuinely warm, attentive and thoughtful. The door men will walk you to a spot you have asked about to make sure you don't get lost. A special thank you to Sayeda, who worked so hard to get us into the restaurants we were keen on. You’re made to feel like royalty from the moment you arrive. The food here is also outstanding. Breakfast was one of the best I’ve ever had, delicious, beautifully presented, and full of local recipes and produce. I would also recommend using the spa and their own restaurant which has a peaceful rooftop option. If you’re coming to Marrakech and want somewhere truly special, stay at Le Farnatchi. You can undoubtably find a cheaper Riad in Marrakech, but if this falls in your budget then you are guaranteed a truly unforgettable and relaxing holiday. I hope to return.

    Unfortunately, our room had only a roof window, so no views. Breakfast was very basic.

    Beautiful Riad with very friendly staff. Great location. We appreciated the roof terrace with views over the entire city.

    When we arrived and were guided through the bustling alleyways through a heavy wooden door, it felt like walking into another world of peaceful tranquility with an incredible feeling of warmth and welcoming faces. The weight of the stressful journey was truly over, The attention to detail within these walls is quite mind blowing, my daughter and i were in awe of the beautiful architecture and authentic carvings and decor. we stayed in suite 1, which was truly incredible and i slept better than ive slept in years. All the staff are warm and friendly, there immediately when you need them, but never intrusive. As for the Spa, we had a few treatments which were amazing too, particularly the Hamman for2. I loved every minute of our trip and will be returning as soon as we can. Thank you 🙏

    I was completely blown away by Le Farnatchi! I booked a last minute trip and came in early, arriving at 1030a or so. Had no expectation of being able to access my room (and offered to pay if it made a difference) but they were able to get me in right away, with a lovely mint tea service welcome. The room was PHENOMENAL - like, took my breath away - a massive living room, bedroom and gorgeous bathroom upstairs, and a private rooftop patio. Floored. Absolutely floored. I felt completely safe at all times, in and outside the riad, but staff always offered to walk me to dinner or other locations to make sure that I didn't get lost. Super kind. I can't say enough good things about the staff who took care of everything I asked, including transport to and from the airport. Beyond these taxi trips, I spent my days walking because everything was easily walkable - museums, palaces, the square, many many souks, and all the many restaurants I visited. It felt like the perfect location because everything was so close by but it's just a couple turns away from the noise so the rooms and the courtyard are silent. Really just a perfect place. Will always come back here.

    We stayed here 18 years ago and loved it! That’s why when we returned to Marrakesh (it took for to long) we did not hesitate to book La Farnatchi. It did not disappointed! The place is stunning and as soon as you walk through the amazing front door, you feel at home. The team are truly the icing on the cake tho! They can not do enough for you. It feels like NO is not in their language! Many members of the team have been at Farnatchi since day 1 and it really shows. James, the owner is most charming and did me a huge favour because he heard that I was stuggling to secure 80 bottle of champagne l needed for the for my birthday party that I was throwing for 30 people in rental place near by. Safe to say my celebration would not have been as much fun without those 80 bottles! Thank you so much James and the whole team!

    We had a lovely suite, almost faultless, however, we think, maintenance is an issue as we’ve noticed few things that have not been fixed or replaced perhaps, i.e. taps covered in limescales. For a massive room, we wish there was a kettle/teabags available in the room. We love a cuppa before bed and didn’t want to hassle staff to bring us tea late at night. There’s also no fridge in the room, would be nice to have a cold drink especially on a hot day.

    The calmness and quietness of this place, just a lovely little escape from the craziness just outside its walls. Brilliant staff especially Saida, who checked us in, and never say no to any requests, always happy to help with everything, from changing sleepers sizes, to booking our treatment at the spa.

    Perfect location inside the Medina - we could easily walk to Souks, Jemaa el-Fnaa, wonderful restaurants, etc. The breakfast was wonderful and brought to our room or private rooftop terrace each day as requested. The staff were incredible and really made the trip for us! The service was top-notch, and the owner James Wix was often onsite ensuring everything was running smoothly for the guests. It was an incredible place to stay!

    There really is nothing not to like.

    Le Farnatch is amazing. I have stayed here many times, the staff are exceptional, the rooms are amazing and public spaces. Breakfast is the best in morrocco by far. Service 2nd to none. Been coming to le Farnatchi for 17 years it never fails to amaze me everytine. There really is nowhere else i would stay in marrakech. The new restuaraunt is outstanding. Food quality and service are exceptional. Not that id expect anything else. I was pleased to see some of the staff who have been there since my first trip. 17 years ago. Saida is an angel and so attentive. Her main aim is to make sure, your stay is the best it possibly can be. Morad and Walid, were amazing also. Every staff member, really do go above and beyond. So genuinely helpfull in every way. We are already looking at returning as soon as possible.
